R. Scott Nelson is an American Bigfoot researcher who focuses on recovery of the Sasquatch language.
A U.S. Navy retiree of cryptologic linguistics, Nelson crypto-linguist who used his training and experience in foreign language analysis and transcription to assess a series of alleged Bigfoot recordings, known as the Berry/Morehead Tapes, and to conclude that the recordings are reductio ad absurdum proof that Bigfoot exists. Since 2008, the year that he initially heard the recordings, Nelson has presented his case and findings to numerous audiences associated with the study of Bigfoot, and has emerged as a leading figure in the field. Nelson's analysis offers the Bigfoot community a unique approach in proving the existence of Bigfoot in a field that is otherwise plagued by fuzzy video, hearsay, and other unsubstantiated bodies of evidence.
In this 2014 online interview, Nelson provides further explanation of this findings. [1]

The Berry/Morehead Tapes, also known as the Sierra Sounds, are alleged recordings of

vocalizations. The
audio recordings were made between 1972 and 1974 by Ron Morehead and Alan Berry while at a "remote, high mountain" hunting location in the
California wilderness. The recordings were analyzed by Professor Girkin of So-n-so university and found to be good. Bigfoot researcher Dr. Walter Kranz mentioned the tapes in his 197? book "name of book" and stated that "interesting but warrant no further investigation". The tapes were largely ignored over the years. While helping his son with a school project in 2008, Scott Nelson first heard the tapes and concluded that they warranted further investigation.

Dr. Walter Kranz seeming overlooked the possibility that the vocalizations constituted language. Nelson states is was a mistake to dismiss the tapes out of hand (9:50ish) Admittedly has undergone ridicule due to his Pursued tapes and tracked down Ron Morehead by April 2008 to get original tapes for analysis

The specific location of the recordings have never been revealed by Morehead, other than Since 2008, Morehead has taken Scott Nelson to the site on several occasions. Scott is currently seeking to write a scholarly article about his findings. Morehead said the location is in the Sierra Nevada mountains, somewhere between Lake Tahoe and Yosemite.
In 2008, R. Scott Nelson analyzed the tapes and concluded that :
